LARIMER COUNTY (KUSA) - Larimer County officials confirm that 57 additional homes burned, bringing the total number of homes destroyed in the High Park Fire to at least 248.

The evacuees learned the new number after a community meeting Sunday. A resident told 9NEWS at least 80 other structures also burned.

The High Park Fire has burned an estimated 83,205 acres as of Sunday morning. More than 2,000 people were battling the blaze.

It is the second largest fire in Colorado history, as well as the most destructive.

The High Park Fire remains at 45 percent containment after reaching 60 percent late last week.

At least 248 homes were lost, including an unknown number of other structures. The total cost to fight the fire is estimated at $27.6 million.

Nearly 1,000 evacuation notices were sent out Friday to residents near the High Park Fire. Friday's evacuation area centered mainly along Red Feather's Lake Road (CR 74) as spot fires moved into the Glacier View area.

Some residents who received notices Friday had only returned home two days earlier after leaving when the fire flared up Sunday.

Throughout the duration of the fire, at least 4,325 evacuation notices were sent out. Firefighting crews had no choice but to turn and run in the face of the fast moving fire north of the Poudre River. They left behind homes they'd spent days protecting.

On Friday, Sky9 captured dramatic video of multiple homes burning in the southern part of Glacier View Meadows.

The American Red Cross moved all shelter operations to Cache La Poudre Middle School, 3515 W. County Rd. 54G, LaPorte on Saturday.

The shelter at Cache La Poudre will provide shelter and food. Evacuees can continue to go to The Ranch for meals, mental health support and access to services such as a mobile health clinic and laundry.

Friday's evacuation area: Highway 14 from Hewlett Road and Wild River Road, east on Highway 14 to include Falls Creek Drive, all of Poudre Park, Wonderful Place, Ray Shoaf Lane and east to Manners Lane. This includes all homes addressed on the north and south sides of Highway 14 between Hewlett Rd and Manners Ln.

The second order includes all residents of Filings 1 through 8 in Glacier View, homes north of County Road 74E to include Green Mountain Drive, Mount Axtell Drive, Mount Moriah Road, Mount Simon Drive and all connecting roadways in that area.

This is the first time residents north of CR 74E were issued evacuation notices since the fire began.

Earlier Friday, officials issued evacuation orders for all North Rim Road residents and all small roads running off of there (including Hidden Canyon Driver, Willow Mountain Court, Elkhorn House Road and Deep Cut Road).

Governor John Hickenlooper signed an executive order that authorizes an additional $5 million to the state's Disaster Emergency Fund to pay for firefighting efforts in the High Park Fire. An earlier executive order OK'd $20 million for the fire.

Due to the high-fire danger and the very dry conditions in Colorado, Governor Hickenlooper banned open burning and private use of fireworks throughout the state. The ban does not apply to campfires in fire pits, fireplaces, grills or controlled burns for agricultural purposes. Commercial, professional and municipal firework displays are allowed as long as they have the proper permits.

Some cities, however, already have the go-ahead for their July 4th fireworks shows. A list of cancelled and approved fireworks shows can be found here.

On June 11, authorities confirmed 62-year-old Linda Steadman died from the blaze. Search crews found Steadman's remains at her house on Old Flowers Road.

Authorities say Steadman received two notification calls. A deputy was on his way to personally warn her, but he was pushed back by flames.
